If you want to learn more about practically any form of creative work, someone on YouTube has your back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the only channel I return to consistently for my \u201cHow\u2019d they do that?\u201d fix is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@HowardHoMusic\">@HowardHoMusic<\/a>, the channel where <a href=\"https:\/\/howardhomusic.com\/index.html#\/\">composer\/playwright\/journalist Howard Ho<\/a> unpacks songs from stage and movie musicals in micro detail, but in terms that music amateurs like me can actually understand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I first ran across Ho\u2019s channel after Disney\u2019s animated movie <em>Encanto<\/em> put the frustratingly catchy number \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d on nonstop rotation in the constantly running jukebox of my brain. I couldn\u2019t figure out why I couldn\u2019t get it out of my head, so when YouTube suggested a video explaining the phenomenon, I bit.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How We Don&#039;t Talk About Bruno Works &amp; Why It&#039;s Amazing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3O28uSZxyEw?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Ho\u2019s video not only got me to hear the song differently, it let me see some of the movie differently. He doesn\u2019t just explain home keys and relative majors, and how the song\u2019s keys and chords fit together: He picks apart elements of <em>Encanto<\/em>\u2019s visual and storytelling symbolism to explain why certain colors and visuals are relevant to the characters involved. The insight about the notes used in Bruno\u2019s name and the concept of \u201cblocking the way home\u201d in this song blew my mind, but the breakdown of Mirabel\u2019s skirt embroidery was even more exciting. It\u2019s like an \u201cEaster eggs you missed\u201d video without the condescension.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Still, that video doesn\u2019t hold a (magical, symbolic, straight-out-of-<em>Encanto<\/em>) candle to the breakdown of \u201cSurface Pressure\u201d from the same musical, which just about made my brain explode. This look at how a song about emotional stress uses syllabic stress to make and break rhythms and convey different emotions is fascinating \u2014&nbsp;one part structural analysis, two parts composition education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Surface Pressure Works &amp; Why It&#039;s Catchy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/diuYQxcLdWw?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Ho has a degree in musicology and a clear fandom for Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s work: His series breaking down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLkkocI7Ffe0a4bS57kt4KFBaHsCPyS7Xy\">theory, process, rhymes, and symbols in <em>Hamilton<\/em><\/a> has a longer run time than <em>Hamilton<\/em> itself. He clearly follows his own fascinations as he\u2019s programming the channel \u2014\u00a0he isn\u2019t just opportunistically diving into whatever\u2019s popular at the moment, he\u2019s exploring things he himself finds interesting, whether he\u2019s picking apart a particularly involved and clever bit of lyrical play in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z-MiF_D2654\"><em>Into the Woods<\/em><\/a> or spending nearly an hour on how the 2022 Broadway show <em>&amp; Juliet<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f-luijY8isQ&amp;t=1s\">fixes the fundamental problems with jukebox musicals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Ho\u2019s videos are brisk but not frantic \u2014&nbsp;they don\u2019t have that \u201crushing to keep the attention of an impatient crowd\u201d sense of overcutting that bugs me in other analysis channels, but they don\u2019t drag or belabor any given point, either. For me, his shifting focus between lyrical, musical, symbolic, narrative, and rhythmic analysis also means a steady shift between analytical languages I already understand and can take in easily, and ideas that push the limits of my comprehension in exciting ways. If you\u2019re anything like me, his videos exploring media that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4zs0U8Z6yI8\">most fans will already feel they know a lot about<\/a> are informative and insightful enough to pull you toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kPaTRRbxW64&amp;list=PLkkocI7Ffe0aFb5pU34YAfh66lkMvctk8\">watching videos about lesser-known projects<\/a> \u2014 and maybe, hopefully, to actually check out those projects in turn. (<em>Schmigadoon!<\/em> is terrific, y\u2019all.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Schmigadoon Works (Musical Theatre Universe Explained)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kPaTRRbxW64?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But my favorite thing about Howard Ho\u2019s channel is that he answers questions I wouldn\u2019t even have thought to ask about media I\u2019ve already watched. Why does a B-flat note kick Sinister Strange\u2019s ass in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23060466\/doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness-scary-spoilers-wanda-horror\"><em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em><\/a>? How does it connect to Danny Elfman and Beethoven? Why does <em>Solo<\/em> play the Empire\u2019s theme from Star Wars in a major key, and how does that theme relate to \u201cthe happiest type of melody you can write\u201d? Next time you\u2019re looking for a diversion on YouTube, you know where to answer those questions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How the Music Battle in Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness Works\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VfcA5fBlj_A?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How John Williams Balanced Star Wars Using Music Theory\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wXb-xqJlkPg?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why Defying Gravity Is Perfect &amp; How It Works Musically\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QjCTl8MShlY?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/yuletide-youtube\/486717\/best-music-analysis-channel\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube is packed with \u201cHow do I\u2026\u201d and \u201cHow did they\u2026\u201d channels.
